[PROBLEM] MCE IR Controller "Cypress USB Keyboard" not working

[equildi]

These are the relevant entries in xbmc.log:

Upon pressing buttons on the remote, I get no further output in log file though. The lirc bypass thing is funny, but this gets created by lirc automatically. Disabling lirc alltogether doesn't help either.
